Split videos with NodeJS

App Engine to cut videos from Cloud Storage

This is a test app to see if I could download a file from a cloud storage and split it in many parts. It accepts a raw body with json format like this:

{
    "videoName": "/full/path/of/the/file/on/cloud/storage.mp4",
    "parts": [
        {
            "start": "1605530", // milliseconds
            "end": "1606588" // milliseconds
        },
        {
            "start": "2449997", // milliseconds
            "end": "2451136" // milliseconds
        }
    ]
}

It saves the output in the /tmp folder.

.env

Before running this app this environment variables must be set:

• PROJECT_ID (Firebase Project ID) Can be found in the firebase config.
• STORAGE_BUCKET (Firebase Storage Bucket) Can be found in the firebase config.

@ToDo:

• Accept a different destination path
• Configure GCloud CLI in Dockerfile
• Improve error handling
• Add tests
• Allow to receive a firebase config file to function on any project
• Allow to receive a WebHook URL to notify finished jobs
• (index.ts) parameterize projectId and storageBucket - it's related with receiving firebase config file.
• (src/splitAndSaveParts.ts) Explore options with the ffmpeg library
